The problem I have, is that the 'billsec' field in the CDR records, only
starts ticking if I accept the call, so it isn't including the time that
I have answered the call on my mobile, but not actually accepted the
call, which means if I reject the call or whatever, then it doesn't log
the fact that I have actually spent money making a PSTN phone call...
What I guess I'm looking for is some sort of command to put into my
macro to start the 'billsec' counting, does anybody know if such a thing
exists, or if there is some other way of getting round this problem?
(I could just use the 'duration' field, but this would include time
where it was merely ringing and I'm not actually being charged etc).
For anybody interested, I got round this by hacking at app_dial.c and
adding an extra flag (b) that will set the CDR record as answered as
soon as it starts the macro. Now billsec is accurate, only downside
being that it shows all the calls as ANSWERED even if the callee
rejected it or whatever - I'm looking at finding a way round that, then
if I can make it nice enough I'll submit a patch etc - contact me
off-list if you want it in it's present state...
